godless

i have always been confused about other people's hearts,
but never about my own.

i know it does not understand
laws of physics,
gravity,
ethics,
time.

it will do as it pleases,
always perfectly sincere.

it will dive into this pool,
a perfect 10,
leaving just a ripple behind
to show that the surface broke.

so why did i let myself leave you so quickly,
in a blizzard of things left unsaid,
moments not yet discovered?

because it wasn't worth it.
the chance for joy was not worth risking.

(a part of me died writing that)

but love and desire only last a season
with blooming colors...
reds and blues and greens.

the glorious colors always end,
with or without my prayers.

so why should i pray now?
i feel godless without you and

you don't believe in love
or you wouldn't have said
you don't like saying it.

and i have believed in love
since i knew how to believe.
